AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

Enables the fender side cover to be mounted uniformly across different hood hinge types, simplifies the assembly process, reduces production costs, and maintains a consistent mounting relationship while absorbing assembly variations in both vehicle width and longitudinal directions.

Problems solved by technology

However, unlike the vehicle model having the mounting structure of the fender side cover shown in FIG. 2, in the case of a vehicle model in which a long flange 1′ is not formed in the fender 1, that is, a vehicle model in which there is no room for the flange 1′ of the fender 1, since the fender side cover 2 cannot sufficiently come into contact with the fender 1, there is a problem in that it is not possible to mount the fender side cover by the conventional mounting structure of the fender side cover.
However, since the conventional mounting structure of the fender side cover cannot cope with both two types of hood hinges, it needs to be separately formed depending on the hood hinge type, and thus there are problems in that the assembling process becomes complicated, and the production costs and the assembly time increase.

Abstract

A mounting structure of a fender side cover, which is mounted between fenders disposed on both sides of a vehicle, a car body, and a hood hinge may include a hinge pin extending in a vehicle width direction on a side portion of the hood hinge, a rear mounting portion formed at a rear of the fender side cover and mounting the fender side cover to the hinge pin so as to be rotationally and laterally movable, and a front mounting portion formed on a front side of the fender side cover and inserted into a fender through-hole formed in the fender to couple the fender side cover to the fender, in which the fender side cover is mounted on the fender regardless of the type of the hood hinge and is moved along with the fender.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]The present application claims priority to Korean Patent Application No. 10-2013-157453 filed Dec. 17, 2013, the entire contents of which is incorporated herein for all purposes by this reference.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]1. Field of the Invention[0003]The present invention relates to a mounting structure of a fender side cover mounted between fenders disposed on both sides of a vehicle and a car body, and more particularly, to a mounting structure of a fender side cover which includes a rear mounting portion configured to mount the fender side cover to a hinge pin in a rotationally and laterally movable manner, a front mounting portion inserted into a fender through-hole to couple the fender side cover to the fenders, and a mounting portion inserted into a car body through-hole to mount the fender side cover to the car body, and is mounted regardless of the type of a hood hinge to be able to absorb the assembling variation of the f...
